Have you ever dreamed of writing a romance?

Would you like to meet other people just like you?

We'd love to meet you!

 Greetings to you from the gals at Northern Lights Writers - a chapter of Romance Writers of America.

Because we meet on Zoom, our members are scattered throughout the country and Canada, but our home base is in Minnesota.

Our Purpose:  To advance the professional interests of career-focused writers through networking, information, and education, and to provide continuing support for writers within the romance publishing industry.

Membership:  Open to anyone eighteen or older who has an interest in writing professionally. National membership is a requirement for enrollment in a local chapter. You are welcome to attend two meetings before committing to join.

Meetings:  Usually held on the third Monday of the month at 6 pm CT on Zoom.

Email nlwriters@gmail.com or dmeinstad@gmail.com for more information.

Annual Retreat:  Held for a full weekend in October! (This year we found beautiful timeshares at Izaty's Resort in northern Minnesota for an entire week and they were cheaper than weekend prices elsewhere. Everyone had the option to come for part of the week or all of it.)
